Sick of articles about the future of reading? Try this game
Bookavore, at her wits' end, has come up with a drinking game that, she hopes, will help her get through what are sure to be dozens more articles about e-readers and the future of books.
Some of the highlights of the game are:
"Will e-books wipe out/kill/decimate/pulverize/HULKSMASH/angry verb real books?" -- one drink
Above question is lede -- one drink
Assertion that e-book prices are too high, and will lower soon -- one drink
Assertion that e-book prices are too low, and will raise soon -- one drink
Article uses vague Amazon press release stats misleadingly -- one drink
"turn the page" used as a pun -- one drink
"game-changer" -- one drink
Best of all (here's where Bookavore won a spot in my GoogleReader): If the article mentions the "smell of a real book," the reader must "clean out the liquor cabinet, drink until you pass out, wake up next morning, puke, then continue drinking."
